Bulk file creator

Create bulk files with or without structured directories. Be it a configuration file or a plain text file.

The source should be a plain table that contains the header and beyond that each row will be a separate file. Just parameterize it with the appropriate flags and you're ready with lots of new files.

Usage

py main.py source.xlsx

Flags

Name	Flag	Short	Default	Required	Description
Target directory	--target	-t	dist/	false	Target directory when saved all file
Create dirs	--dirs	-d	true	false	Create directory every files
Add header	--addheaderkey	-a	true	false	Add header key in content with join separator
Join	--join	-j	=	false	The target file content line and header separator

Source format headers

• name - First column contained the file names
• extension - Second column contained all file extension (not required)
• Every other column contained file content. The first row value is a line parameter name.
